Amazing strategy game that's deep and immersive; a little bit better than Civ4 in my opinion
I have both CivIV and Gal Civ 2. While CivIV is without a doubt one of the best strategy games I've ever played, I myself find Gal Civ 2 to be just slightly better. To keep things simple, I'll just list the reasons out... Read Full Review

Very entertaining, but some features limit the game's appeal
This is a fun game. It is definately an improvement over the first, but unfortunately not as fun as Masters of Orion. I'll cut right to the bad parts: First the tech tree is kinda lame. It seems like they really di... Read Full Review

love thier anti copy protection way of thinking. i wud have bought this game just for that feature or lack of it.
i love it when some game companies just like to make great games and sell them the good old fashioned way. rather than (trying) to force their never-up-to-the-hype game down gamers throats with protection schemes more el... Read Full Review

Master of Orion Perfected !
Ahh back to the good old days of 4D space games. I have to say Gal Civ does many things right. From slamming out Colony Ships early in the game to the massive fleets in orbit leading to a ground assault, space conq... Read Full Review

The second GalCiv is just as good as the first. But then alot better!
This game is pretty much anything a Turn-based strategy fan could wish for. In general when playing games of this genre you're clicking alot here and there all over the interface. In Galciv 2 the interface is suprisi... Read Full Review

A 4X game that some of us have been waiting for far to long. The depth of the strategic gameplay is simply staggering.
I say with out hestitation that Galactic Civilizations II: the Dread Lords is the finest 4X game I've played in years. If you are unfamiliar with the term 4X games, they are a subgenre of strategy usually in space and t... Read Full Review
